List of characters in the Animal Crossing series[edit]

This article asserts zero notability through reliable sources, and is a repetition of the character sections of the two Animal crossing game articles and the film. As such, it is duplicative, has no real content, and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Transwiki to an Animal Crossing wiki if needed. RobJ1981 (talk) 06:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The characters are largely interchangeable ciphers, and share one of four pools of dialogue. I thought I AFDed this a long time ago. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 18:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it used to be an alright article until information was repeatedly reduced to the point where there is barely anything left. It has also become a target for all kinds of crap. Delete, delete, delete. --.:Alex :. 20:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I noticed that notability is hard to apply to lists as being discussed in the notability discussion guidelines. Spinout reasons alone suggest this is too big for Animal Crossing. Thus can't be taken on its own merits. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's easy, however, to apply in this case. Most of these characters have five lines of dialogue or less, and are generic quest-givers or shopkeepers. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 15:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I like this page and don't delete it because it has use. Banana7070 825, 9 June 2008 — Banana7070 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

"I like it" isn't a valid keep reason. RobJ1981 (talk) 23:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Most of these are one-dimensional, and as a result no reliable, third-party sources exist or will ever exist. The characters that have actual character (such as Tom Nook) are few enough to be covered in Animal Crossing (series) since they appear in all the games anyway.

Delete - the grand majority of characters are really unimportant, and shouldn't be included; after that, the actual characters can be covered at Animal Crossing (series). Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 04:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
